332. Rise of the Tomb Raider: Lara's plan to assassinate Lara

『【(( 1~

Facing the archbishop's gaze, Nan Xiao was solemn: "I just got very important news. ”

"Oh?"

"Laura Crawford has returned from Syria."

The archbishop's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment: "This news...... Didn't you already know? Mr. Hank has been in touch with you, hasn't he? He had already reported this some time ago. The men we sent were defeated and suffered heavy casualties. But they're all mercenaries, and they're dead, and there's nothing. ”

"No, I got a top-secret piece of information, and that's the Holy Grail War."

"The Holy Grail War?" The archbishop looked a little interested, "I've never heard of it, what is it?" ”

"According to reliable sources, Lara Crawford was able to defeat our people because of a mysterious man by her side. And that man, it turned out to be one of the 'Heroic Spirits' who had just awakened, he called himself Arterius, one of the Four Horsemen of the 'Sun King Gwen', and made a pact with Laura to help her claim the Holy Grail. And the Holy Grail he mentioned is the source of the Divine that we have been seeking. ”

The more the archbishop listened, the more surprised he became: "Is this so? The knight of the Sun King Gwen, the resurrection of the Heroic Spirit, the war for the Holy Grail ......"

He stood up, walked over to a door, and pressed a button on it, "It's not the same report I received. Let's listen to Bishop Calvin. He was Anna Crawford's godfather, and he should have gotten this information a long time ago. ”

After about half an hour, the door opened. A white-haired old man hurriedly walked in and saluted the fat old man on the seat: "Your Excellency Archbishop Adrian, are you looking for me?" ”

Only then did Nan Xiao know that the fat old man in the seat was called Adrian.

"Bishop Caesar brings new news." Archbishop Adrian motioned for Nan Xiao to repeat the news just now.

Nan Xiao added fuel and vinegar to the story of the trip to Syria. Especially the scene where he turned into a light-winged knight and swept the Holy Trinity mercenary with a blue sword in his hand, he gave full play to his eloquence and spoke wildly. The two leaders of the Holy Trinity did not blink when they heard this. Especially when I heard the narrative about the Holy Grail War, my face was even more solemn.

After listening to Nan Xiao's speech, Archbishop Adrian began to hold him accountable. "Bishop Calvin," he reproached, "we listened to your report on your trip to Syria at the last meeting. You only mentioned that the mercenaries brought by Konstantin were defeated, but you didn't mention such important news, why? ”

Calvin looked embarrassed: "That's what I got from Anna Crawford. She only mentions that her brother was defeated in Syria, but hides a lot of details. ”

Nan Xiao fell into the well at the right time: "In this way, it seems that the loyalty of that lady Crawford is very questionable. ”

Adrian agreed. "Ms. Crawford must have had her own ideas. I have just sent an elite team of Guardian Knights, led by Captain Denigan, to support her and Constantine's operation in Lucia. Now it seems that we need to take the lead in this operation in our own hands. I'll contact Denigan later to change my orders to him. ”

Calvin didn't dare to say anything, and even sweat broke out on his forehead.

Adrian turned to Nan Xiao: "That 'Knight of Arterius' said that there are seven Heroic Spirits, and he is the first to awaken?" ”

"Yes, exactly."

"Led by Laura Crawford......"

The beads of sweat on Calvin's forehead became denser. "Your Excellency Archbishop Adrian," he said, bowing down, "Anna has sent news that Constantine is approaching the ruins of Kit City, and that he will be able to find the vanished city as soon as possible. According to reliable sources, the Holy Source is hidden in Kit City. This is discussed in detail in the notes of the Earl of Richard. ”

"If the Holy Source is the Holy Grail, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to obtain, and it will inevitably go through a battle."

"The battle between the seven Heroic Spirits, according to the knight of Arterius, the same battle took place a thousand years ago. At that time, we of the Holy Trinity also went to war, but there is no record of it in the scriptures. ”

The three of them each expressed their opinions and discussed for a while.

Adrian finally made a decision: "Then, if we can find the rest of the Heroic Spirits who have not yet awakened, we will definitely have a head start in this battle." Is there any more detailed information from Hank's side? ”

Nan Xiao shook his head: "I'm afraid not." He had only heard from a few mercenaries who had escaped. ”

"There is a need to investigate more deeply. Well, the matter is left to you, Bishop Caesar. ”

Nan Xiao bowed slightly: "Yes." ”

"Before, you and Hank tried to influence Laura Crawford through public opinion to get her to give up continuing to investigate the Divine Source, how about it, failed?"

"It didn't go well."

"How, can this hidden danger be erased in the cradle? If you send an elite Guardian Knight to carry out an assassination. ”

"If you distract that Spirit Knight beforehand, it's hopeful."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you," Adrian instructed Calvin instead, "Anna, tell her to cooperate and find a way to lure the person who is guarding Laura Crawford's side away." ”

"Yes."

Adrian nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone must keep it in mind. We, the Holy Trinity, are the majestic power of the guardian deities hidden in the shadows. We are God's left hand, upholding God's will and sanctioning all! ”

Arrogant guy......

However, it seems that they have succeeded in getting them into the frenzy of the so-called Holy Grail War.

Assassinate Laura Crawford. Interesting, very fun.

After discussing the details of the assassination with Calvin, Nan Xiao happily exited the underground conference hall.

It's a bit ridiculous to think about it, and I'm seriously discussing with the enemy how to transfer myself. Seriously, Bishop Calvin is a genius of conspiracy. The idea he came up with was very vicious. It's worthy of being an old guy who has been single all his life, and his spirit is very BT. If he hadn't told all the details in person, maybe he would have been fooled, right?

Hmph、How is that possible?

After returning to the small church in the countryside and posting a notice on the door that "I am unwell and rest for a week", Nan Xiao teleported back to Crawford Manor.

Laura's work was still unsuccessful, and she was soaked in the research notes left by Count Richard, without a clue.

When Nan Xiao saw her, she almost didn't know her.

His hair was unkempt, his eyes were glazed, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, his clothes hadn't been changed for a few days, and the room was full of pizza boxes......

Well, it's just like Nan Xiao used to be when she was studying at a language school in Tokyo, and it's the most decadent one.
